Níðhöggr Serpent Pendant

Handcrafted in Sweden using traditional Swedish artisan techniques, this Níðhöggr pendant is a striking tribute to one of Norse mythology’s most haunting and powerful figures. Níðhöggr (or Nidhögg) is the fearsome dragon who dwells beneath Yggdrasil, the great World Tree, where he relentlessly gnaws at its roots. His presence serves as a potent reminder of the cyclical nature of life, destruction, and renewal.

Mentioned in both the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, Níðhöggr is not merely a creature of chaos, but a necessary force in the Norse cosmology—a symbol of the dark truths that balance creation. His role in gnawing at Yggdrasil’s roots represents the decay that makes way for transformation and rebirth, echoing the belief that even the gods are bound to fate.

This pendant is hand-forged by a skilled Swedish blacksmith, using time-honored techniques that reflect the raw strength and spiritual weight of Viking-era metalwork. No two pendants are exactly alike—each bears subtle variations in shape, texture, and size, emphasizing the unique nature of handcrafted iron and the unpredictable spirit of the myth it represents.
